I don't know if this exist in XEmacs but GNU Emacs has the variable `x-select-enable-clipboard'. If you set it to t clipboard should work just fine. You may also want to look at `interprogram-cut-function' and `interprogram-paste-function' if they exist in XEmacs. > I filed a bug report, but so far no response. It should be noted that both flavors of Emacsen has a very large and helpful user community on Usenet who'll find a cure pretty much every problem you're ever likely to have.
